One of the most challenging questions concerning an aircraft is whether to buy a used one or a new one. They usually question why they should splash out so much money on a new aircraft while they can buy a new one. However, the older aircraft have their problems that one needs to watch out. Besides that, there are many benefits to purchasing a new aircraft.

The Parts

At times, the older aircraft may only cost minimally less than the newer aircraft. However, getting parts for a new airplane is much easier. If one purchases an old aircraft, one will have a hard time finding the parts. The reason for this is that manufacturers do not make parts for older models. As a result, if one needs the part they will have to search for it very hard or have it made. The result is that one will spend a lot of money. All this is the money that one was trying to save up on.

The Maintenance

This is another major issue when one is buying an airplane. On one hand, new planes hardly require any maintenance. One only needs to take the aircraft in for a routine checkup. This checkup will usually cost little. On the other hand, an older plane will require inspections that are more frequent. In addition, one will have to undergo serious maintenance often. This might mean on replaces everything in their aircraft by the time they are done with it. In addition, this might mean one might have to miss some of their flights. The aircraft will be in the shop more often, which makes it hard for one to establish their schedule.

Losing an Investment

With time, one may wish to get rid of their asset to get some cash. However, this is going to be quite difficult if one is not careful. In most cases, an aircraft loses value the more often it flies. This means one might get close to nothing once they sell the aircraft. This makes it difficult to spend money on. A new aircraft will lose less money. As a result, one can still find a great buyer for it.

Safety

Although this is a minor issue, almost all plane crashes have no survivors. An older plane will have fewer safety measures incorporated into it. As a result, there is a higher chance it will drop out of the sky.

Conclusion

Buying a lane is a huge investment. It ensures that one can travel at will. As a result, there is a need to ensure on gets good value for money. Buying a newer one guarantees that.

While all art forms should be respected, modern art is taking on a new direction. Not only are the styles of art changing, but the canvasses are changing also. People still do use traditional canvasses, but outdoor expressions are becoming more popular. In this article, we will be examining two canvasses that have become an expressive form of art in today’s modern culture:

Skateboard Art

Skateboarding has become a popular sport among the younger generation. I hand it to them for bringing some expressive art to this sport. Here are some examples of how people are using this unique canvass:

These independent pieces of art include intricate detail on a surface that makes the print unique from any other.

This is an interesting piece as it expands to multiple canvasses in order to become complete. An amazing feat of artistic ability. The next canvass I anticipate seeing images being expressed is the GoFast Board. Although, they are still fairly new to the market.

Graffiti

This art form is not widely accepted as it is often used to damage property. However, when used in a productive manner, and with the permission of the owner of the canvass, a wall or building can quickly become a stunning work of art. The truth is, many of the people illegally spraying property are very talented. They just need to put their energy into improving society. The greatest part about graffiti is the fact that the art is displayed for all to see rather that kept inside for private viewing as more traditional paintings tend to be.

Here are some brilliant examples of how graffiti can be an amazing art form:

Such a large scale canvass in on outdoor setting makes this seemingly difficult art form really come to life.

The point is that beauty is around every corner, even in bigger cities and on the bottom of skateboards. I hope this will help you to never underestimate the power of art and to encourage you to look for beautify in every place you go.

If you ask couples who have been married a long time or those that have just married, they will tell you that the key to having a successful wedding is prudent planning.

You should, however, remember that planning is one thing and sticking to the plan is another.

This article thus explores a few tips to guide you as you plan for that picture-perfect wedding you have always dreamed of. Read on to discover more.

Have a Timeline

After you have set your wedding date, it is now time to fix the dates for all the other events that precede the actual ceremony. Have an overview of the various dates you want to get specific tasks accomplished.

When you have a thorough understanding of when you are going to perform each necessary task, things will go more smoothly and you’ll have peace knowing that you did not forget anything.

Ensure that you include the biggest majority of tasks within the first few months so that you have less to do in the latter months. You should therefore use a calendar or a datebook to ensure that you can closely monitoring of the occasions and the dates.

Delegate/Share Duties

Despite how energetic you feel, you are not strong enough to do everything alone. Even if you had the strength, you would not have enough time to undertake all things yourself.

However, although you should delegate duties, you should participate in executing them, every inch of the way. If you delegate duties and fail to keep track of their development, you may find too late that things have not gone the way you want.

It is your wedding and you are the one who knows exactly the kind of ceremony you want. However, you should engage your partner in the planning. For example, she may want very specific wedding flowers. Sometimes these small details matter to the bride to be.

You should not lord it over them because the wedding belongs to both of you. Where you do not fully agree, you should at least strike a balance in order to have everyone’s interest taken care of.

Be Flexible

Although the wedding belongs to you and you are the final decision maker, it is good to be flexible. Factor in the interests of others and listen to their concerns.

The first person you should listen to as you embark on this process is your spouse. However, there are other details that touch on other people such as the ushers and bridesmaids.

You should give them the opportunity to share in your joy and big celebration. try to be open about what they should wear and such. Remember that they are playing a critical role in ensuring the success of your ceremony. Be flexible and give them some liberty and they will feel appreciated.

Have a Budget

Weddings can be quite expensive. While there are mega weddings that cost millions of dollars, there are other simple affairs that cost a few dollars. You should cut your stitch according to the size of your coat.

As such, you should agree with your partner the amount of money you purpose to spend on your wedding and then draw a budget. A budget ensures that you do not over spend on some things and get shorted in the end.

To some, the harp may seem to be a simple instrument, but nothing could be further from the truth. This instrument is said to be the oldest, dated as far back as 3000BC, and most universal instrument of all musical instruments. It is believed that the first harp was two frame parts conjoined together – the body and the neck – and strings made of gut were stretched between the frame. They would be plucked to produce different pitches of notes to create sound.

Instrument Models

The first model of harps were the arched harp and the angular harp with the framed harp coming along around the ninth century AD. It is believed that the framed harp came by of the Celtic people, where it has maintained a presence throughout Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

Three parts created the frame: the body, the neck and the fore pillar. It is the fore pillar that would complete the triangle shape of the harp as we know it today. It also provided strength for the structure as a whole which accommodated the tension increased of the strings.

Of all orchestral instruments, the modern harp has a range larger than the others from its forty-seven strings. The original thought was that each string would represent its own note, but that theory made the instrument more cumbersome than it is now. Hooks were placed on the neck during the seventeenth century and set so that would catch the string and a semitone would increase the pitch. Clumsy yet effective.

Harp Musicians

In 1720, a German by the name of Celestin Hochbrucker would introduce an creative system so that the hook system to creates a pedestal by introducing the body to seven foot-pedals. The former solid front pillar was hollowed to accommodate the levers and wires being inserted to transmit the motion of the pedal to the hooks. This would raise and shorten the strings pitch by a semitone. This would give us the first single-action pedal harp.

In 1810, Sebastien Erard a pianoforte maker progressed the efficiency and scope of the existing mechanism by substituting the hooks and rotating discs by mounting two studs, then the pedals would activate the discs and grip the strings to give a raised pitch effect. Each string was supplied with two discs to increase another semitone in the range.

With Hochbrucker and Erard efforts, the harp could attain a chromatic scale and be tuned diatonically as well with each octave having seven notes versus the original twelve-note chromatic octave. The double-action pedal harp that was the creation of Erard’s mechanism is still used today.
